My next computer will have no less than 4GB of memory. Unfortunately that won't help the situation at work.

*does nothing for 5 minutes while waiting for Visual Studio to load*

Very productive.

I will start posting regularly again.. promise :-P

I decided to stay in Columbus. I'm happy with my decision overall, but I wish I could see my family and friends in Medina more often. My job is kind of up in the air as of now. I turned down the position in back home before receiving an offer in Columbus. I've been interviewing like crazy. Almost one or two interviews a day for over two weeks straight with only about two days off. I'm ready for the interviewing stage to be over. I'm getting an offer tomorrow will get another offer or a rejection by the end of the week. I'm pretty excited about the offer. It's at a consulting company, which makes me a little nervous, but it seems like a pretty exciting company with people I'd enjoy working with. It will be such a relief when I'm finally secured in my first career job.

I stopped at MAC and Nordstom after work to get myself a couple of things to pre-celebrate a new job, lol. ...and to spend some of my graduation money. I went to the MAC counter to see how some colors would look on me. I told the girl that I wanted Beauty Marked ("deep blackened red with a sparkle/twilight effect") as eyeliner, and colors that would look good with it. She said that she doesn't like using shadow as eyeliner and automatically used black pencil under the shadow for liner. I can see her point, but I really prefer just shadow. I think it's a lot softer and not as... dark. Especially with my extremely pale skin. I'm not sure if I like it. It looks a little better after I put some bronzer on. I was a little disappointed and ended up buying a completely different color than what she used.

Makeup

Yes, I'm wearing bronzer here. I don't get to see sun very often :-P

I guess I'm just not much of a shopper. I found one shirt that I liked at Nordstrom, but it turned out to be dry clean only. grawr! Dry cleaning is ok for ocasionally worn items, but it seems like such a waste of money to buy something I plan on wearing a lot if it requires dry cleaning. I might go back and get it... probably not.

haha, Blueberry discovered... shoes. She was having a blast attacking my shoes the other day. She's kind of strange. It's amusing.

As of 10:30am Friday morning, I am completely done with my undergraduate degree! It hasn't fully set in yet, but I'm still excited! I can spend the entire weekend doing whatever I want... without having to worry about any school work :D. So... what have I done with my first complete day of freedom? I cleaned and did laundry, lol. I cleaned out my car, washed the kitchen, bathroom, cleaned and dusted my bed room... Strange as it sounds, I've actually been looking forward to cleaning this weekend. I haven't had time to thoroughly clean anything in weeks. Less than an hour after cleaning my bedroom, I accidentally flung BBQ sauce all over my desk and bedroom carpet :(. For a minute there I felt like my ex-roommate who lost most of our deposit by destroying her bedroom carpet with beer, pop, juice, gum, and dirty shoes. She's also tried to decorate the entire main floor of the apartment with ground beef. Erm, gross. Anyway... Matt and I are going to Tiara's for a hot tub party later tonight to celebrate finishing classes :)

In other news... I ended up spending a few hours in the emergency room on Wednesday because of severe lower abdominal pain. It pretty much came out of nowhere. I couldn't stand up straight, I threw up, and had stabbing pains in other areas as well. The nurses thought it was either my appendix, an ovarian cyst, or a kidney stone. I had a CAT scan after a nurse killed my vein with an IV. I wouldn't look while she was putting the IV, but apparently I was bleeding all over and I ended up turning green :-P. The abdominal pain stopped as suddenly as it started. The CAT scan came back normal, so the appendix was ruled out... they're thinking it might've been a cyst, but there wasn't any fluid. I'm pretty sure they ended up thinking it was most likely a kidney stone that I passed before the CAT scan. Either way, it was very unpleasant. I have a massive, multicolored bruise on my arm from the IV, and the right side of my abs seems a bit sore every once in awhile, but things have pretty much calmed down. I scheduled a follow up doctor appointment for Monday. Hopefully they'll be able to tell me that everything is normal. Thanks to Noelle for taking care of me :)

The past few weeks have been quite eventful. I have more to write regarding my job search, but this post is getting long so I'll wait.

Where is everybody?

nobody@vox.com(Stephanie) — Thu, 01 May 2008 16:40:16 -0700

oh senioritis... thank you for not delivering your most debilitating blow until the last week of classes. I want to watch a movie, or go for a walk or a bike ride, or go out to dinner, be with boyfriend, walk around the mall, sit and stare at a wall... anything but write this History paper on the Industrial Revolution. So dull. ugh.

I feel like dancing :) Contributing factors include: caffeine, gorgeous weather, and the fact that I'm almost finished with college!!!!

That was ten minutes ago... when I was outside. Now I'm sitting in the library searching for motivation to write my second to last paper of my undergraduate career. And I'm boredboredboredbored. Who cares about the Industrial Revolution anyway? :-\. Maybe I'd have more luck working on this outside :-P.

Only four more days of class and sixteen days until official graduation!!

Thank goodness for birthday money

nobody@vox.com(Stephanie) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 14:14:13 -0700

I had a great birthday weekend :) It started out going to the Happy Greek for Matt and my three month anniversary. After dinner, we walked around the park for a bit during the end of what we found to be an Earth Day festival. Next came a birthday celebration with a few friends at Dave and Busters.

My Dad came to visit on Saturday, and we went to Cap City with my aunt, uncle, second cousin, and Matt. The food was delicious, and I had the biggest, most decedent piece of chocolate cake... ever. I couldn't even eat 1/4 of a piece, and I'm the girl who eats entire pints (or so, haha) of ice cream in one sitting. mmmm, ice creaam :D

Here are some oh-so exciting pictures of from Dave and Busters :)

Deal or No Deal

Bday08_01

Deal for 420 tickets! :D

Bday08_07

And... Matt's favorite picture... thinks it's hilarious XP

We won 800-some tickets, and ended up taking home... a bunch of cups, hahahaha. It was too crowded to properly inspect all of the prizes.

I got about $120 for my birthday so far :)

And...

Blueberry decided to boycott her litter box yesterday. She pottied twice outside of the litter box and hasn't gone at all since. Luckily both times were easy to clean up and, surprisingly, it didn't smell... After talking to Noelle and calling the vet, I discovered that she may have a UTI or some other type of infection. I spent about $32 on a temporary litter box, litter, a kitty bed, and moist cat food yesterday so I could keep her in the bathroom while I'm asleep or not home so she can't use the carpeted floor as a litter box. I took kitty to the vet this afternoon. They're going to do a urine test, but Blueberry has to go to the bathroom first. Apparently there wasn't anything in her bladder, so I was sent home with a "collection kit". Hopefully she'll go by tomorrow evening, or something really serious could be wrong, she'll have to stay overnight at the vet and possibly get blood work. :(

So... Vet bill, after $30 first time customer coupon, was $70. $70 + 32 = $102... so far. There went my birthday money :-P. Oh well... at least I had some money. If it weren't for birthday money and the $100 sent by my sister for graduation, I'd be at -$104 after this month's bills :-\. Can't wait to graduate and find a career job!!! :-P

Speaking of graduation... I'll be completely finished with all work and tests for 2 of my last 3 undergraduate classes in just two more days!!! eee! -dances-

I'm thinking of taking a picture of myself every day for a year to see if/how I change throughout the year. I can't decide if I want to do all head shots, or full body, or a combination. If I did the same pose in all of them, I could set up some kind of animated image to string them together and see my self morph from April 27th 2008 me to April 27, 2009 me. Sounds like a fun project. I also think it's a great time to start since it's my birthday. Inspired by this (and no, I don't expect my head to become square :-p...). Yeah... I get bored a lot.

It's almost 9pm and I have ~~a paper~~ several papers to be writing. I'm sitting here playing with my camera and thinking about how I should start making ice cubes instead, lol.

And playing with maps.live.com. <3 the house I grew up in :)
